OK, I'm getting a little tired of reading long-winded sermons about Christianity. If I want to hear about Christ's love, I'll go to church or tune into the 700 Club. I'm really happy that some of you love Jesus and make choices based strictly on what you think is written in the Bible, but I do not. For years, we've all heard about the alleged "Homosexual Agenda", mainly from so-called Christian sources, but in just the short time since I've been a member of Daily Strength, I've had to plow through a number of dogmatic postings which sound an awful lot to me like a "Christian Agenda". I respect your choices and beliefs-- really, I do-- but I prefer "love" to be given to me without a message. I don't at all like that icky feeling I get when I think I'm being "loved" in the same way that Mother Theresa loved the leper. It's condescending and, frankly, makes my skin crawl.

I've been advised to stay away from this topic. Please forgive me if it sounded like I condescended anyone here...
I promise you I never meant it to sound like that. Please know there is no &quot;better-than-you&quot; attitude coming from this person. How could I be that way? I'm human, too.
Again, I will not be discussing 'religion' on here again.
Thanks.

This is a place where we can go and voice are questions, are concerns, are feelings, WITHOUT being condemned

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
